Winter School TM

The goal of trust management in ICT infrastructures is to allow entities to reason about the trustworthiness of other entities and to make autonomous security decisions on the basis of trust. The global computing infrastructure is highly dynamic with continuously appearing

and disappearing entities and services. It is vital that the associated computational trust model is able to incorporate this dynamism and that equally flexible legislative and regulatory frameworks emerge.

The program for the winter school includes lectures in fundamental topics in trust management as well advanced topics including the following:

PKI and Trust Management

Formal models of trust

Reputation systems

Traitor tracing

Trust management in Cloud

Participants of this winter school are expected to produce posters and short papers that present current research issues in security and trust management – to be submitted to the IFIPTM 2012 conference.

International Winter School has been a great success with 59 participants from various parts of India and one from UK - comprising of Masters students, Researchers, Career Faulty, and Industry executives. Deliberations and discussions were immensely enjoyed by all resource persons and participants - who eventually submitted short and full papers to the IFIPTM2012 conference!
